if you lay on the ground in front of you car and react up in between the radiator and the front bumper you will feel a spring with a piece of metal attached to it move the piece of metal to the right.

Have a friend push down on the hood lightly while you pull the wire with vise-grips. This may release some of the tension from the latch making it easier to pull the wire. Otherwise, wait until the car is cool and reach under the front bumper and feel up the front of the radiator for the latch. It may be easier to cut the cable and pull from there since there will be less friction to overcome.

Find where the wire connects by looking from below. Where it connects, put your needle nose on, wind it up a turn and pull.

If the F of the hood/grill is vented, you can get in with a screw driver.
